Question 1

Is there parking?

Accepted Answer

We have very limited parking, which is why the event is limited to 10 families, with 1 car allocated per family.

Question 2

Are there toilets/hand washing facilities?

Accepted Answer

Toilets and handwashing are available on site, but activities are often run in the forest so recommend all visitors arrive ahead of the start to use facilities beforehand.

Question 3

When should we arrive?

Accepted Answer

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the start event.

Question 4

What is expected of parents/carers?

Accepted Answer

Hive staff will lead the events, explain activities, introduce rules, and assist all children where they can. However, carers will be expected to support their children with the practicalities and help enforce rules. It is the joint responsibility of all adults to keep the group safe.

Question 5

Is there a café or can I bring a picnic?

Accepted Answer

There is no café on site but you are welcome to bring a picnic and stay on the site for an hour after the session. There are also several options nearby. The closest indoor eatery is The Owl pub, at Lippits Hill. For a choice of options, visit High Beach visitor centre and carpark

Question 6

Do you cancel in adverse weather conditions?

Up to two adults can accompany their children at our events.
